When I first went to college, I was a sheltered country boy from a small rural area in a northwest Louisiana parish where medical doctors were held in high esteem, and whose whole lives were dedicated to the preservation of life within their capabilities.

In 1975 I first became aware of the term "euthanasia" and its ramification while studying for my undergraduate degree. Throughout my adult life, I became more aware of this issue as Dr. Kevorkian, other doctors, nurses, and individuals were vilified and convicted in the courts for performing acts of mercy killing.
